English poem

The Harmless Cow

by (1775–1846)

Listen in the reader

A very young lady, And Susan the maid, Who carried the baby, Were one day afraid.

They saw a cow feeding, Quite harmless and still: Yet scream'd, without heeding The man at the mill,

Who, seeing their flutter, Said, "Cows do no harm; But send you good butter And milk from the farm."
